Description

The following code works well on iOS, but not on Android:

const s = StyleSheet.create({
    curvedLineLeft: {
      transform: [{ rotate: '90deg' }, { scale: 1.6 }],
      position: 'absolute',
      left: -(width / 35),
      top: 31 + 91
    },
// ....

It produces "Value for value cannot be cast from String to Double"

Even if i pass a double for rotate like `rotate: 3.14196/4` it complains that it needs a string and not a double.
